In Montana its 75 on most major highways. Until a couple of years ago it was 'Reasonable and Prudent'. I've been lucky enough to live in the 2 states that basically did not have speed limits (Nevada and Montana) although both have limits now.

>In some states, like Vermont, the absolute max is 65, whereas most others, I think, it's 55 (I remember on Knight Rider the camera often used to fix on the Kit's speedo, rigid at 55 - some kind of brainwashing propoganda). I seem to recall this began with ONE of the oil crises in the 80s and has never been repealed. Doesn't this drive you guys crazy, given the vast distances you may have to cover.
